The transmission systems are comprised of one Sender unit and one or more Receiver units. They enable you to split and extend a PC VGA video or analog Component HDTV signal to 500 feet and beyond. The Model UV1-SL is also capable of extending a Composite Video & Stereo Audio to 2000 feet. A unique feature of the system is that in most installations only one power supply is enough to power the sender and the receiver(s). All sender units can supply power to all the receivers connected to them via the Cat5 cable. If the cable is longer than 325 feet or 100 m then the receiver may require a separate supply. Conversely, in the case of 1-to-1 setups, the Receiver unit can also supply power to the Sender (only when the Sender is a single channel). The characteristics of the Sender units are summarized below: Feature UV1-S UV1-S-WP UV1-SL UV2-S UV4-S UV8-S Local VGA Loop out No No Yes Yes Yes Yes # of RJ45 Outputs 1 1 1 2 4 8 Sends Power over UTP Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Mounts on Wall No Yes No No No No Table 1 – Sender Characteristics Note: For Cat-5 runs of over 330 feet, the receivers may need their own additional supplies sold separately (HRT model # 511-GS569). 2 VGA-over-UTP Figure 1 – Typical Connection Diagram 2.0 Features • Most support local monitor at sending end • Units with multiple Cat-5 outputs • Handles resolutions up to 1600x1280 • Drives standard CAT5 cables to 500 feet • Rugged, Reliable, Compact size • Transmit video and phantom power on one cable • Adjustable cable length compensation at each receiver • Only one power supply required for sender and all receivers 3 VGA-over-UTP 3.0 Setup and Operation A. Place the sender near the video source and connect it to your source using the cable provided. • For PC’s VGA output use a HD15 male-to-male cable (generally a short cable may be included with your package) • For RGB or YPbPr sources, use a HD15 to 3 RCA cable (Hall Research Model # CHD15-3RCA-length 03 = 3ft, 06 = 6 ft). B. Use an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or a Shielded Twisted pair (STP) cable such as Cat5, 5e, or 6 wired per standard 568B to connect the sender to the receiver(s). See Section 3.1 for important cable selection considerations. IMPORTANT Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards or hubs as this may cause damage. Use EIA/TIA 568B standard straight-through patch wiring as shown below. Do not use crossover cables.

At each remote site connect a receiver (UV1-R and UV1-R-WP) to the Cat5 cable and plug your display to its HD15 output connector. D. Plug a power supply to the System based on the type of the sender used. 4 VGA-over-UTP In general, you should connect the power supply to the Sender unit. However, follow these suggestions for best performance. • If the sender has more than one RJ45 output (UV2-S, UV4-S, UV8-S), then the power supply must be connected to the sender. • If the Sender is a Model UV1-S, UV1-SL, or UV1-S-WP, where the system is comprised of only one sender and one receiver, then you can plug the power supply at either the sender or the receiver. Wallplate Power Connection. The wall plate units, UV1-SWP and UV1-R-WP have a 2 pin screw terminal for power connection. The power supply output cord does not have a connector at its end; instead, it is stripped and tinned. The positive side has a white line running along the insulation of the cable and is marked. The connection is polarized, meaning the you must connect the + output wire to the + screw terminal and – to –. You can use 20 gage or heavier wire to extend the DC output cord of the power supply if you need to locate the power supply farther from the device. It is recommended to keep the distance of the supply from the unit to within 30 feet. Note: Please do not connect the power supply to the AC source until you have securely connected the output cords to the Wall Plate MiniCat unit. E. Apply a video source to the system and check for an image at each receiver, then set the compensation Potentiometer (pot) for best possible image. 5 VGA-over-UTP Start with the compensation pot fully CCW (least compensation), then slowly turn it clockwise and check for the bleeding of left to right horizontal lines on the screen. Note dark line bleeding as a dark line to the right Note dark line has a clean transition Figure 3 3.1 Note dark line bleeding as a white line to the right ! Important note regarding selecting the UTP Cable First of all, UTP (unshielded) is preferred over STP (shielded) unless you are running the cable very close to AC power lines, power transformers, or ballasts of fluorescent lights, where EMI (electromagnetic interference) can get into the video if it is strong enough. Secondly, for best results especially for distances of over 150 feet, it is highly recommended to use a Zero-Skew Cat5 cable. (Hall Research Part Number CUTP-Z-1000). This cable ensures that the horizontal alignment of the red, green, and blue components of the 6 VGA-over-UTP video signal is maintained regardless of the length of the Cat5 cable. In this cable, the number of twists in each of the 4 pairs in the cable are the same. If you do not use a Zero Skew cable and feel that the RGB alignment is off by an unacceptable level, then you can use a Skew Corrector (Hall Research Model SKU-RGB) at the display device if desired) 3.2 • For Cat5 runs of over 330 ft, you may need to connect a power supply to the sender as well as the receiver. This is due to the fact that the resistance of the cable causes a voltage drop from the sender to the receiver and the voltage level of the power at the receiver may not be sufficient for proper operation. This extra power supply must be ordered separately (Model 511-GS569). • When using one supply for the system, if the power supply voltage is not enough due to Cat5 cable run, then, the power LED on some units may start blinking. This signifies that you need to attach another power supply to the unit that is currently being port powered Dip Switch Settings for the Model UV1-SL The UV1-SL can be used to transmit Composite Video and Stereo Audio as well as VGA to the receiver. However since the Video signals are terminated differently than audio, you need to move the dip switch to the proper position. Use the Mode Dip Switch to select the video type for transmission. The Sync Dip Switch is used Figure 4 to change the polarity of sync at the receiver. If your remote display has trouble positioning the right and left edges of the screen, then try putting the switch is +/+ 7 VGA-over-UTP 4.0 Specifications Supported Video Types: VGA through UXGA, RGB, and YPbPr, plus CV and line level stereo audio for UV1-SL Resolution & Refresh Rate Up to 1600 x 1280 non-interlaced at up to 85 Hz Bandwidth DC to 250 MHz Maximum Distance Up to 500 ft.
